What happens when, as scholars who have habitually been working with posthumanism and the new materialisms, we find ourselves summoned by thinkers who critique the covert coloniality present in these approaches? This work is the result of a year-long project where we set up the task of feeling our way through these critiques, exploring how they change our work and ourselves; and attempting to find a way of relating to the challenge of decoloniality. We use collaborative writing as an approach to delve into our encounters with readings, our own histories, and our ways of relating to the academy and each other. In this work, we start from our differing histories and positionalities—a Chilean woman and a British man; now colleagues and with a history of being a PhD supervisee-supervisor. Then, we grapple with how posthumanism/new materialism has neglected to think about how coloniality is entangled in who the “humans” it speaks to are and how it is further reproducing colonial dynamics of ethnocentric erasure that effectively do not allow it to go beyond the “human.” After considering possibilities of integration, reparation, survival, and refusal, we conclude it is crucial to reflexively acknowledge and work with our concrete positionalities and interests, thereby making our conceptualizations necessarily provincial, limited, and in some ways problematic. Otherwise, we run the risk of engulfing decolonial, postcolonial, anticolonial, and indigenous theories without any fundamental change, thus furthering coloniality.

不是所有的帖子，也不是所有的新内容：挑战殖民主义的破坏

作为习惯于研究后人类主义和新唯物主义的学者，当我们发现自己被批评这些方法中存在的隐蔽殖民性的思想家召唤时，会发生什么？这项工作是一个为期一年的项目的结果，我们的任务是通过这些批评来摸索我们的方式，探索它们如何改变我们的工作和我们自己；并试图找到一种应对非殖民性挑战的方法。我们使用协作写作作为一种方法来深入研究我们与阅读的接触、我们自己的历史以及我们与学院和彼此之间的联系方式。在这项工作中，我们从不同的历史和立场出发——一个智利女人和一个英国男人；现在是同事，并且有担任博士生导师的历史。然后，我们努力解决后人类主义/新唯物主义如何忽视思考殖民性如何与它所谈论的“人类”是谁纠缠在一起，以及它如何进一步再现种族中心主义抹除的殖民动态，而这种动态实际上不允许它超越殖民主义的范围。 “人类。” 在考虑了融合、补偿、生存和拒绝的可能性之后，我们得出结论，反射性地承认并处理我们的具体立场和利益是至关重要的，从而使我们的概念化必然是狭隘的、有限的，并且在某些方面是有问题的。否则，我们就有可能在没有任何根本改变的情况下吞并非殖民、后殖民、反殖民和本土理论，从而进一步加剧殖民性。
